MASSERIA TORRE COCCARO

( 5 stars , Bari , Italy )

The setting is classic Puglia, on a sun-bleached hillside facing the Adriatic Sea, amid groves of olive trees. The hotel began its life in the 16th century as a watchtower, a fortified farmhouse, designed as a stronghold against marauding Turks. Surrounded by history, secular olive trees and a stone portico marked by grand vaults, you will experience the genuine pleasure of living in a farm, looking at the true colours and scents of the countryside.
